BIKE AND BUILD

30 RIDERS WILL VISIT WOODSTOCK
SUNDAY, JUNE 10
PROGRAM on AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISSUES at 7:00 PM

Bike & Build is a nonprofit organization that empowers young adults to work for change in the world, particularly an end to poverty housing in the United States. Each summer, participants travel by bike across the country to raise awareness, labor, and funds to work towards affordable housing for all Americans. In preparation for the trip, each rider must raise $4000, and they use this money to fund affordable housing efforts and organizations they encounter on their ride. During the trip, they work at least once a week with Habitat for Humanity or like-minded groups on actual building sites.

Thirty students on the Providence-to-Seattle trip will be arriving in Woodstock on Sunday, June 10. They have asked if they can spread out their sleeping bags in the Great Room and spend the night. Can you help us provide hospitality? We are looking for a few volunteers to help prepare a meal, provide baked goods, or donate breakfast items. Please contact Debby Kirk at
ddkirk@snet.net or sign up on the kiosk.

All ages are invited to come and meet the riders! Bike and Build participants will give a presentation about their trip and affordable housing issues at 7 PM on June 10. To find out more about the program, go to http://www.bikeandbuild.org/.
